Spinal pain including lower back pain, mid-back pain and neck pain

Training practice

We are currently involved in teaching medical students from the University of Warwick. Part of this teaching involves students either observing consultations and/or actively participating in the consultations, including examinations. If you would prefer that a student is not present during your consultation, please inform the receptionist before seeing you doctor. Both the doctor and the student will understand if you prefer that a student is not present during your consultation.

Full details about our Training and Research can be found here.
